holiness

Psalm 99, Proverbs 9

Ps. 99 1 The Lord is king!
      Let the nations tremble!
   He sits on his throne between the cherubim.
      Let the whole earth quake!

Why?  What is the fundamental character attribute of God that causes us to tremble and quake?

Pr. 9 10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
      Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

Why?  What attribute of God causes us to fear Him?

Ps. 99 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name.
      Your name is holy! ...
 5 Exalt the Lord our God!
      Bow low before his feet, for he is holy! ...
 9 Exalt the Lord our God,
      and worship at his holy mountain in Jerusalem,
      for the Lord our God is holy!

Heavenly Father, you are holy!  You are separate from all of creation because you are the Creator.  You are perfect and above everything.  Please help me see your holiness.  Please help me see how great you are and that you deserve to be separate from everything.  Lord, thank you for condescending through the person and work with Jesus Christ.  May I be your servant today.  I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
